The Limhamn September Backyard Ultra is a unique endurance event held each September in the coastal city of Malmö, Sweden. The main race follows the classic "backyard ultra" format, where runners must complete a 6.7 km loop every hour on the hour until only one remains standing. The course winds through Hammars Park and along the Øresund coast, offering both scenic views and mental challenges. In addition to the ultra, the event includes a 6.7 km timed fun run for those looking for a less demanding experience, and a 1.5 km mini-backyard loop designed especially for children. This inclusive setup makes it a vibrant day of running for competitors of all levels and ages.
